one or more of the following OpenFlow connection methods:
.TP
-\fBpssl:\fR[\fIport\fR]
+\fBpssl:\fR[\fIport\fR][\fB:\fIip\fR]
Listens for SSL connections from remote OpenFlow switches on
\fIport\fR (default: 6633). The \fB--private-key\fR,
\fB--certificate\fR, and \fB--ca-cert\fR options are mandatory when
this form is used.
+By default, \fB\*(PN\fR listens for connections to any local IP
+address, but \fIip\fR may be specified to listen only for connections
+to the given \fIip\fR.
.TP
-\fBptcp:\fR[\fIport\fR]
+\fBptcp:\fR[\fIport\fR][\fB:\fIip\fR]
Listens for TCP connections from remote OpenFlow switches on
\fIport\fR (default: 6633).
+By default, \fB\*(PN\fR listens for connections to any local IP
+address, but \fIip\fR may be specified to listen only for connections
+to the given \fIip\fR.
.TP
\fBpunix:\fIfile\fR
confidence in the controller's identity. However, this option allows
a newly installed switch to obtain the controller CA certificate on
first boot using, e.g., the \fB--bootstrap-ca-cert\fR option to
-\fBsecchan\fR(8).
+\fBovs\-openflowd\fR(8).
.IP "\fB-n\fR, \fB--noflow\fR"
By default, \fBovs\-controller\fR sets up a flow in each OpenFlow switch
This option affects only flows set up by the OpenFlow controller. In
some configurations, the switch can set up some flows
on its own. To set the idle time for those flows, pass
-\fB--max-idle\fR to \fBsecchan\fR (on the switch).
+\fB--max-idle\fR to \fBovs\-openflowd\fR (on the switch).
This option has no effect when \fB-n\fR (or \fB--noflow\fR) is in use
(because the controller does not set up flows in that case).
This option is most useful for debugging. It reduces switching
performance, so it should not be used in production.
+.IP "\fB--mute\fR"
+Prevents ovs\-controller from replying to any OpenFlow messages sent
+to it by switches.
+.IP
+This option is only for debugging the Open vSwitch implementation of
+``fail open'' mode. It must not be used in production.
